CIV Den Oever

'The apARTment' is a spacious, comfortable and specially designed house on the former island of Wieringen, "De Kroon" of North Holland. The combination of the space decorated with design and art and the authentic landscape with the Wadden coast, the Robbenoordbos, IJsselmeer, fishing port and the Afsluitdijk makes a stay in The apARTment unique.

Wieringen is a former island between the Wadden Sea and Zuiderzee and is wonderfully beautiful. Rolling greenery, wooded banks that protect cattle and cyclists from the wind of the sea, historic farms, cozy villages, winding roads. And the sea is always close by, and so are the sea birds. Gulls, fish thieves, spoonbills and geese call Wieringen their home.

location right next to the Stevin locks and Afsluitdijk - directly on the Waddenzee - beautiful view - follow signs to Den Oever - harbor center, shops and restaurants 500m

Den Oever is also located on the Afsluitdijk and is therefore the only village that is located on fresh and salt water. The port is located near the Afsluitdijk on the Wadden Sea side. Den Oever is a real fishing port. A section of the harbor has been set up as a tourist harbour. You can take a Wadden cruise here or go for a day of sport fishing.

Enjoy optimal privacy and the luxury of a hotel in the informal atmosphere of a bed & breakfast. Due to its location right on the Wadden Sea World Heritage Site and its cultural-historical value, the Wadden Fund and the European Union have contributed to the restoration.

There are two lock complexes in the Afsluitdijk: the Lorentz locks on the Frisian side at Kornwerderzand and the Stevinsluizen at Den Oever. The complexes consist of locks, which allow ships to navigate back and forth between the IJsselmeer and Waddenzee, and discharge locks, which discharge excess IJsselmeer water into the Waddenzee at low tide.
